Buying Options. Allowing MSIM to buy options involves less risk than allowing MSIM to sell options because, if the price of the underlying asset moves against VKAM, MSIM can simply allow the option to lapse. The maximum loss is limited to the premium, plus any commission or other transaction charges. However, if MSIM buys a call option on a futures contract for VKAM and later exercises the option, VKAM will acquire the future. This will expose VKAM to the risks described under "futures" and "contingent liability transactions".
